A very nervous hackney horse William because of all day fireworks

The 31st of december, is for many animals a catastrophe.
Also for William. His stable being located in the middle of the village, means a continous exploding of all kinds of (very) noisy fireworks all day long. Totally stressed out in the stable, he just needed to get out to relieve his exess energy.

My friend had her horse in a very expensive livery. I might add a professional jumping yard. One night the owners of this yard held a party and believe it or not set off lots of fireworks just behind the back wall of the stable! Needless to say her mare was badly injured as were some other horses.

The horses would u not have any idea what was going on, what a panic they must have gone through; and no escape, and flight is really the only escape a horse has. Words fail me.

That was really extremely stupid to do (and basicly animal abuse), I hope your friend sued them.

Some times I think you are better off letting a horse run free and do his own thing than keeping him cooped up wear he can't folow his instinct.

Letting a horse go free on bonfire night is probably the best thing to do.

Depends on the horse and the environment where you can let him run.

He has a lot of character indeed.

[hackneysaregreat]

definitely!

I have watched all of your videos of william and I really think you are doing a fantastic job. He seems like a lovely horse and it is great to see him improving. I have a nervous horse too so I fully understand how difficult it can be. With time a patients, which you really have, he will become the most wonderful horse.

When I was a kid, a multi-day 4-H show had made the mistake of booking the fairgrounds on the same weekend as holiday fireworks. Whoops. It was pure chaos that night. Horses jumping out of their stalls and running loose, hurting themselves... not a fun night for the kids. Thankfully my horse was literally bomb-proof, and she just watched the other horses going nuts.

wooooooooooow oh my Goodness!! That horse is beautiful!!! <3 i want it O_O

I've had a lay down on my ponies back and watched the fireworks with him (He actually really likes it). He's fine with that and the giant noisy snowplow and 4 wheelers ect but a snowmobile going by in the next field over or down the road well that's just craziness for pony brains right there. xD Gorges horse! :D <3

Er is een manier om zo'n paard rustig te laten staan doe grote proppen in zijn oren en een goede isolatie kap op dan heeft hij veeeeeeel meer rust ga naareen draversstal en vraag hun hoe zij he doen je zult zien dat het werkty ik doe het ook elk jaar bij mijn eigen draver niks geen stress en nerveusiteit en misschien is hij wel super overgevoelig voor herrie probeer het maar eens want als dit elk jaar zo is nounou dan snap ik hem wel
